The organisers of Earth Hour, to be held this year on March 27, adveritse the resolution of warming worriers: What, only 579 cities signed up so far? Seems that resolutiuon may actually be fading fast, given their target: In fact, it’s a massive drop on last year’s numbers: UPDATE Or, suggests Senator Cory Bernardi, you may choose on that date and time to help him celebrate something much more important: During Human Achievement Hour, people around the world will be recognising the incredible accomplishments of the human race. Originally conceived by the Competitive Enterprise Institute in 2009, Human Achievement Hour coincides with the earth hour campaign but salutes those who keep the lights on and produce the energy that makes human achievement possible. UPDATE 3 Let them eat carbon credits: The Government has contracted to buy these credits, mainly available from China and India, through 10 British and foreign companies… The net result of all this trading and jiggery-pokery is that, after billions of pounds and dollars have changed hands, with a hefty commission for those bankers and other carbon traders along the way, there is no reduction in greenhouse gas emissions whatever. But at least our political class can continue to work in warm offices and fly righteously round the world on our behalf – while the rest of us foot the bill. |

Senator Bernadi is a fuckwit.
